Using drop down lists on protected worksheet
I want to protect a worksheet that uses drop down list boxes. I want to
allow the user to select from the list box but not access the other cells in the worksheet. When I protect the worksheet, unlocked cells can be accessed ok. But, the drop down list boxes will not work. Any way to correct this problem? Thanks. |

Using drop down lists on protected worksheet
The cell with the DV needs to be unlocked as well. You cannot change a value
in a cell without having access to change the cell contents, i.e: through a list in DV. -- John C "sign guy" wrote: I want to protect a worksheet that uses drop down list boxes.
